The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

Goosen Tax Court Opinion
136 T.C. No. 27 UNITED STATES TAX COURT RETIEF GOOSEN, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent Docket No. 23323-09. Filed June 9, 2011. P, a professional golfer, entered into endorsement agreements with sponsors Acushnet, TaylorMade, Izod, Upper Deck, Electronic Arts and Rolex. P agreed to allow all sponsors to use his name, face, image and likeness in advertising and marketing campaigns worldwide. P also agreed to perform some services for the sponsors. All endorsement agreements paid P a base endorsement fee. Acushnet, TaylorMade and Izod prorated P’s base endorsement fee if he did not annually play in a specified number of golf tournaments. Moreover, Acushnet, TaylorMade and Izod provided bonuses to P for achieving a specific finish in a PGA or European Tour tournament or a specified ranking on the World Golf Rankings. P characterized the endorsement fees and bonuses from Acushnet, TaylorMade and Izod as 50 percent personal services income and 50 percent royalty income on his nonresident Federal income tax returns for 2002 -2- and 2003. P characterized the endorsement fees from Upper Deck, Electronic Arts and Rolex as 100 percent royalty income. P reported approximately seven percent of the total endorsement income as U.S.-source income. R determined that P should have characterized the endorsement fees and bonuses from Acushnet, TaylorMade and Izod as 100 percent personal services income. R also reallocated a larger percentage of P’s endorsement fees as U.S.-source income. 1. Held: The endorsement fees and bonuses P received from Acushnet, TaylorMade and Izod are allocated 50 percent to personal services income and 50 percent to royalty income.
